Given its bonus effect, you should be keeping Indomitable Army up all the time as often as you can. The bonus that the troops gets in both attack and defense greatly benefits them during the skirmishes.

Divine Julius
	Reduces damage taken by Caesar’s troops. When Caesar’s army has been reduced to 60% or less of his units, he has a 10% chance to further reduce damage taken for the next 3 seconds whenever his troops are attacked. The effect can only trigger once every 5 seconds. Upgrade Preview: Damage Taken Reduced By: 3% / 4.5% / 6% / 8% / 10% Additional Damage Reduction: 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% / 30%

This passive skill is very strong. Basically this skill have 10% chance to grant damage reduction for every 3 seconds if Julius Caesar’s army is 60% or less of the total units. At max passive skill, he gets up to 40% reduced damage, which increases his army’s defense.

City Killer
	Caesar has a 10% chance to reduce enemy defense per turn when attacking other Governor’s cities. The effect lasts for 3 seconds. Upgrade Preview: Defense Reduction: 5% / 10% / 15% / 20% / 30%

Another strong passive skill that reduces your enemies’ defense for three second. This passive skill makes a quick work out of the enemies that do not have any defense capabilities. At max skill, it can reduce your enemies’ overall defense by 30%.

The Founders
	Increases maximum troops capacity. Upgrade Preview: Troop Capacity Bonus: 3% / 6% / 9% / 12% / 15%

The Founders is an ultimate passive skill that let you bring more troops, thereby increasing your army’s attack and defense value. Since Julius Caesar starts with a base troop size of 150,000, an additional 15% will easily add a few ten thousands to his army size.

Ahead of His Time
	Deals direct damage (Damage Factor 400) to the target, and, for the next 5 seconds, increases troops’ attack and defense by 20% and increases all damage by 30%.
